I want to start the talk by watching an extract from the Today Show 1994. Some of you may have seen it. What is interesting about it are a number of things: (1) the lack of knowledge of what the technology can do and its potential (2) the pace of change – note the references to “dictionary “ and to “telephone line” (3) and of course the wholly inappropriate comment from the male presenter which probably today would have led to his suspension . 2. Now for a question. How many of you have booked in to MIPIM? I’m not talking about MIPIM at Cannes 2019, but the MIPIM Proptech conference in Paris in June 2018?.

    23/07/2017 Jared Kushner-backed tech firm opens in Dublin Jared Kushner-backed tech firm opens in Dublin WiredScore evaluates office buildings for the speed and reliability of internet connections Thu, Jul 20, 2017, 07:20 Charlie Taylor WiredScore, a real estate tech company in which US president Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner has a stake, has this week launched in Dublin as it seeks to reap the benefits from increased activity in the commercial property sector. The company, which was established in New York in 2013 with early support from then mayor Michael Bloomberg, evaluates office buildings for the speed and reliability of their internet connections. WiredScore, which has offices in New York, London and New York, is to initially service the Irish market from England. However, it has plans to establish a dedicated office in Dublin in the coming months. “We’re moving to Ireland because of a high level of demand from clients in Dublin. We launched in the UK in October 2015 and news of what we were doing quickly spread to the Irish market. We started getting so many phone calls both from developers looking to show off how well connected their buildings were that we decided it would be a good market for us, “William Newton, EMEA director of WiredScore told The Irish Times. Empire State Building More than 750 properties totalling 300 million square feet of office space in over 80 cities have achieved Wired certification. Properties certified include the Empire State Building in Manhattan, One Market Plaza in San Francisco and the Shard in London.

  • About Hudson Yards
    ABOUT HUDSON YARDS Hudson Yards, New York City’s newest neighborhood, is the center of Manhattan’s rapidly changing West Side. At the nexus of Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Yards has been transformed into a thriving destination for foodies, fashionistas, art lovers, park goers and tourists—not to mention home the world’s most innovative businesses and trendiest urban dwellers. When Hudson Yards is completed, an estimated 125,000 people daily are expected to live, work, dine, shop, study, stroll or sightsee at this 28-acre neighborhood, which will include 14 acres of public open space, a public school and the Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, among its many commercial and residential buildings. Already, Hudson Yards is home to a dazzling collection of restaurants and one-of-a-kind shopping experiences, as well as a unique cultural center, first-of-its-kind Equinox Hotel®, world-class medical facilities and lush gardens. And at the heart of it all, anchoring a grand central square, is New York’s next landmark: a climbable, interactive public monument unlike any in the world. All of this is in addition to state-of-the-art office space, and the finest in luxury residences and affordable rental apartments. Bounded by 30th and 34th Streets from 10th to 12th Avenues, Hudson Yards sits at the northern terminus of New York City’s famed elevated park, the High Line, and is serviced by the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station, an extension of the No. 7 Subway line, which connects to nearly all of the city’s other lines.

  • Munich, 30. July 2019 Catella Real Estate AG Uses the Wiredscore
    Munich, 30. July 2019 Catella Real Estate AG uses the WiredScore certification as an assessment of the digital infrastructure of its buildings to capture, improve and promote connectivity. According to Catella, connectivity is a very important factor for tenants when selecting office space today. The four office buildings of the Sustainability Fund now certified by WiredScore are located in Frankfurt and Cologne: In Frankfurt, the Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 36 with more than 3,900 sqm directly adjacent to the exhibition centre, the LUXX, Radilostr. 43-46, with approx. 3,797 sqm and the OFFICENTRAL, Rödelheimer Bahnweg 19-23, with approx. 4,773 sqm rental space were certified and in Cologne the Campus Deutz, Siegburger Str. 229 b, with approx. 8,083 sqm. The WiredScore certification confirms to the owner that the property meets the current and future requirements of tenants for the digital infrastructure of a building. "The WiredScore certification fits perfectly to the sustainability concept of 'KCD-Catella Nachhaltigkeit IMMOBILIEN Deutschland'. Important for the understanding is that the sustainability approach of Catella Real Estate AG includes ongoing sustainability monitoring on different levels and the focus is clearly on making the buildings fit for the future", says Dr. Nicole Braun, Head of Sustainability at Catella Real Estate AG. The special fund "KCD-Catella Nachhaltigkeit IMMOBILIEN Deutschland" is aimed in particular at private customers, foundations as well as church, charitable, diaconal and church-related institutions. The fund currently holds four office buildings in Frankfurt and Cologne as well as a residential building in Munich and a social property in Stuttgart. The total area of the six properties amounts to 30,076 sqm.
